Ahh what have I been doing?!

I haven't been buying a lot of makeup recently, or wearing it for that matter! It's turned horribly cold in Canberra and I'm not really in the makeup mood. Maybe a bit of nail polish on eBay here and there but I'm not really focused on much except my upcoming trip to Hawaii. I need to plan an itinerary, so I've been reading these:



Today I picked up the Top 10 book and that's the one I'll probably take to read on the plane :-) I've been so busy lately, getting money sorted and making plans for a short trip to QLD before Hawaii. On top of that I've got this study to do outside of work that takes up too much of my time. Anyway, on the weekend I bought a new suitcase, hopefully this will be big enough to take back all my desired makeup and nail polish? :-)



My current suitcase is fairly worn from taking it back home every holidays and all over Australia really. Always seem to be going *somewhere*. Then I thought hmm, I could go a new bag and picked this up:



Compartments galore! The bottom is expandable too, so it fits my big Nikon P80 and the bf will take the SLR. I probably won't even remember how to USE my P80 I've been using the SLR so much. But we need a camera each because we're photo obsessed. Then I'm also taking the water proof camera for snorkeling. I would like to do a 'day in the life photo log' style blog post each day I'm there but I don't know how much time I'll have for that. If not I'll do it when I get back :-D

I was going to paint my nails that new Illamasqua nail polish Jo'mina, but felt like burning some choc chip muffins instead :-|



I'll make a very belated monthly favourites post sometime this week!

Nails, lush and all that good stuff

I went to David Jones again to peruse the OPI nail polishes... I saw the Holiday colours, the Matte, and even the revive colours but none really took my fancy (well of those that were left, all the good colours were sold out). I didn't know I was getting one but "Curry Up Don't Be Late" stood out at me:



I was hesitant in getting this because the nail swatch made it look really sheer - and it was, it took me three coats to get it looking like the bottle:



I wasn't expecting a 'gold' colour, but I thought it was really nice on my nails. Uh, the colour difference was me switching from my Nikon D90 to my P80... as to which would be a better representation, I would say the second photo.

Ok where is the lush? :-) My thoughts exactly. I didn't get to go out to the city :-( But I want the '09 version of this gift box (I believe it has snow fairy):



Yummy yummy yummy is a fave. I'd buy it again but I want to try snow fairy :-) I'm not a big fan of the lip balms, probably because I love my Crabtree & Evelyn Aloe Vera lip balm. Definitely buying another one of those when my current one is used up. It's funny, I originally bought it as a Secret Santa present but decided to try it for myself. Worked out well :-D I like most lush soaps, more so than the showel gels simply because the bottles annoy me! I think I'd prefer a pump or a softer bottle.



Oh this is just my new toy. I saw this in Myer and thought it was so adorable! Then I left and my bf surprised me with it later that day. So sweet.
